Wow, they're addressing the backlog by scheduling buybacks in the past!

I can't read anymore. The last page of people were in line behind me and they are already getting served. Seems to be no real pattern for the order they are going in. Document for both cars accepted by 11-1. Offer on 1 by 11-22, uploaded 11-23, but on 12-4 now a problem. 2nd car no activity.

 

[Michael A]

Uploaded docs on 11/28
1st apt set for 12/21 and 2nd for 1/25
Still waiting on an offer on my Golf that has a loan/lien.

I've chosen Steve Hahn Motors in Yakima Wa to do the buyback. I just called them to see if they've had any buybacks scheduled. Seems they've had a buyback 'ambassador' in their dealership 'for about a week' and have been scheduling appointments since then, according to one of their sales staff. Dang! I didn't even get a 'come see me' invitation when I do the buyback. If you aren't familiar with Yakima its a smallish town with a population of around 90k people. It's main 'industry is agriculture. Must be a lot of people in the area that bought a 2.0L TDI.

It's good to know that the buybacks are being done even in the smaller dealerships.

I'm still banking on getting final approval of my docs on or near Dec. 9th - which is 10 business days from when I faxed them in - Nov. 13th. It took 10 business days to acknowledge my faxed documents. Why is that in the 10 business days as part of the process? Seems like VW is using the 10 day step process rather loosely IMO. My process has been 10 business days (equals exactly two weeks) on each step. Who knows? Maybe I'll get the buyback papers approved sooner and get this wrapped up before the end of December.

Good to hear this info. I live in Sunnyside which is just 30 minutes east of yakima. they are my preferred dealer. Hoping i get to schedule mine soon. So don't take my spot please

Everything I did was responded to by the claims center in that same 2 weeks/10 business days pace I noted above - thinking I'd get the go-ahead to schedule a buyback date on Dec 9th. I thought exactly that up until last night. Sunday evening (Dec 4th). About 9PM I got an email from the claims portal letting me know I could sign in and schedule a buyback day. I took the first one available - the 22nd of Dec.

I'll be able to close this chapter of my life. Not that I don't love my Jetta, it's been a great car without any problems over 22k miles but I doubt there is going to be a fix. No reason to hold on to a car that I believe will not be allowed on Washington State roads for very much longer.

I hear ya. Got mine scheduled yesterday for 12/22 930am so i am ready to get this done and over with. I will be leaving with a new car I hope going to visit them this weekend to make sure they have what i want. Looking at a new Passat 1.8T SE with Tech. right now they don't show any on hand but should be easy enough for them to bring one in from another dealer i hope.

How long CAN we wait AFTER notary is uploaded.

I haven't read all 15 pages of this thread (and didn't want to start a new one), but I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat (see below).
I got my offer today and I'm ready to notarize and upload back to them but I am waiting for the manual trans Alltrack to be released and I don't want to be stuck without a vehicle.
My question is; if I upload my notarized docs and get an appointment do I have to go? I want to be at the very edge of the buyback process without having to have to turn it in before the Alltrack (in my spec) comes out.
Anything?

You don't "get an appointment" (in that you're assigned a date and time), you set an appointment, and you have a three-month (or maybe four-month) window in which you can set that. You pick the date and time yourself. If you don't know when you want to set the appointment, don't do so until you do.

 

[dqman01]

We just got the final offer today and our appointments will be on 12/21.

So you're saying don't notarize or upload my docs until I'm actually ready to turn the car in...

This will be quite a balancing act!

 

[tkdcmpedude]

I received notice today that I could schedule my appointment. I did the earliest available with the delearship I selected earlier in the process. Net result a turn in date is scheduled for 12/29/2016. I have this day off already so I was glad and relieved by that. I'll update the spreadsheet tomorrow.

Cheers,
tkd

It is with a heavy heart I too scheduled my turn-in date for December 29th. We love our TDI, but realize it is time to move on. Probably a Toyota Highlander. I also noticed it appears relatively easy to reschedule to a later date.

 

[Freeze Plug]

well, my notary for some reason notarized the bottom section of the form (which would have been for co-registrant which I do not have) so my docs were rejected. great. I didn't think anything of it, until I got the rejection email.

[DanCsTDI]

Uploaded 11/26
Rejected yesterday 12/5 claiming they couldn't read the stamp.
Had it renotorized this morning. Crystal clear just uploaded. We'll see how long this one takes. Hopefully not another 10 days. All I picture are the sloths from zootopia (for those that get the reference)
Anyone else in the same boat as me? Any luck with turnaround?

 

[Hvacrmike70]

Mailed notarized documents overnight 11/21.No word yet,call 12/6 and at least know they have my documents. VW lease, I think they are dragging on vw finance or leases to get more payments in. Im probably crazy,but....

 

[MrWrench]

I sent my documents in on 11/21 and received the email to schedule my buyback on 12/3. I take the car in on the 28th. Picking up my replacement vehicle hopefully this week.

No, from what I'm reading here, you should go ahead and upload everything because it still takes a while for them to process your notarized documents. If you get to the point where you're ready to schedule an appointment, you get to pick a date within, what, a 3 month window? If that time approaches and you're still not ready, you can reschedule.
VW is dragging their feet with processing the claims. I'd get everything "ready to go" that you can as soon as possible.
